There is one chimney on the ridge which is different from most of the end-wall chimneys found in Beaver. On the front facade, there is a window-door\dndow piercing pattern on the ground floor while upstairs there are three dormer windows. All are arranged with bilateral symmetry. Above the windows on the, ground floor are arched, radiating voussoirs. The front porch displays Greek Revival style columns (Ionic) and there are wooden dentals surrounding the top of the porch. The home rests on a black rock foundation and has a lovely bay window on its west, gable end. There is a west porch on the home that has lathe-turned fancy work and the entire home displays a wide Greek Revival Style cornice. The rear extension on the house was original to the home and the interior staircase, which begins in this rear extension, is also original. The stairs are very steep and instead of running straight, there is a peculiar little curve in them. It is a stop-gap measure, taken to force the stairway to fit into a smaller space than it would take on a straight run, which seems to be an odd contrivance for a builder like James Boyter to resort to. The grounds of the home are very nicely landscaped and include Gome native plants (juniper tre~s) that are used in topiary. There is also a nice white wooden fence surrounding the property. Statement of Historical SigrtUicance: o o o o Aboriginal Americans Agriculture Architecture The Arts o Commerce o o o o Communication Conservation Education Exploration/Settlement o Industry o o Military Mining o Minority Groups o Political o Recreation o o Religion Science [] Socio-Humanitarian o Transportation The home is significant because of its historic date, its lovely design and its builder. This home was built by James Boyter for himself and his family. Boyter was a Scotsman who sometimes helped his older brother Alexander in the construction industry in Beaver. The Boyter Brothers worked primarily with the pink stone (tuff) and brick and the James Boyter House is one of the finest examples of their work. James was a sculptor of considerable talent and earned a living carving headstones for the cemetaries in Beaver County. He made extensive use of a white marble with faint blue veins that was imported from Newhouse, a mining town in Western Beaver County. This marble does not take a high polish, but Boyter's work is nonetheless marvelous. Each monument is unique, though he was fond of using a lamb as a symbol on top of many of his headstones. He gave life in stone to such things as lillies, a tree-stump, rich fabrics . and braids and each headstone is a work of art in and of itself. He frequently signed his work, but his style of sculpting is instantly recognizable even without his signature. His home from the outside is very similar to Thomas Frazer's work (Frazer was an earlier Scots mason who was quite active in Beaver). The differences lie in the treatment of the brickwork, the three dormer windows, the floor plan and the chimney placements.

RE: State Historic Preservation Tax Credit Dear Mr. Boyter: Our records indicate that your property at 90 West 200 North, Beaver, Utah (James Boyter House) is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. If no substantial alterations have occurred to the building since it was evaluated at the time of nomination, it would still be eligible for, and listed in, the National Register. Enclosed is the complete application package for the state historic preservation tax credit which provides for a credit equal to 20 percent of qualified rehabilitation expenditures against your state income tax. The state tax credit law requires that before any work begins, the proposed work must be approved by our office as meeting the Secretary of the Interior1s Standards for Rehabilitation. Also, a minimum of $10,000 must be expended for the rehabilitation over a maximum period of 36 months. There is no fee to apply for this tax credit. This application is separate from any review or application that may be requlired by a local preservation cOlIIDission or other organizations (e.g., the Utah Heritage Foundation). We hope the state historic preservation tax credit can make this rehabilitation project more economically feasible. Please let us know if you have any questions or if we can be of further assistance.

Boyter: It is my distinct pleasure to inform you that on April 15, 1983, the James Boyter House at 90 West 200 North, nomi nated by the Hi storic and Cultural Sites Review Committee and the Utah State Historic Preservation Officer, was officially listed in the National Register of Historic Places by the National Park Service and Ms. Carol Shull, Acting Keeper of the National Register. The National Register of Historic places is the-official list of historic properties recogni zed by the Federal Government as worthy of preservation for their significance in American history, architecture, archeology, engineering and culture. Located in the National Park Service, Department of the Interior, the program is part of a national policy to coordinate and support public and private efforts to identify, evaluate, and protect our cultural and natural resources, and is maintained by the Secretary of the Interior under provisions of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966. Listing in the National Register provides the following benefits to historic properties: . -Consideration in the planning for federally assisted projects. Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 provides that the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation be given an opportunity to cOrmJent on projects affecting such properties. -Eligibility for Federal tax benefits for rehabilitations of certain historic commercial, industrial and resid2ntial rental buildings. -Consideration of historic values in the decision to issue a surface coal mining permit where coal is located, in accord with the Surface Mining and Control Act of 1977. -Qualification for Federal grants for historic preservation when funds are available. Listing does not mean that the Federal Government wants to acquire the property, place restrict i ve convenants on the land, Ol~ dictate the color Or materials used on individual buildings. State and local ordinances or laws establishing restrictive zoning, special design review committees, or review of exterior alterations, are not a part of the National Register program and should be clearly separated from the function of the National Register as a tool in the Federal planning process. We would like to send you an 11" x 11" parchment certificate with the gold seal of Utah. It contains the name of the site, the nature of its significance, the date of listing, and the signatures of Governor Matheson, Milton Abrams, Chairman of the Historic and Cultural Sites Review Committee, and Mel vin T. Smi th, Di rector of the "Utah State Hi storical Soci ety and Utah's State Historic Preservation Officer. There is no charge. If you would like the certificate, please let us know by mail or call 533-6017. We do suggest that a marker be placed to give your historic property recognition. Our office has information available regarding a proposed marker text and cost and order; ng if you wi sh to purchase a National Regi ster marker. Sincerely, 4YtLL~~tl A.

UTAH !l4 101 THE PHONE [phone] Boyter: Shortly after compl etion of the review meetings an d comment deadlines for consideration of the nomi nation of those buildings in Beaver which appear eligible for listing in th e National Register of Historic places, Congres s passed ammendments t o the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966. One of the ammendments formalized a procedure that had al ready been in effect here in Utah--providing the owners of properties under consideration for nomination to the National Register of Historic Pl aces, the opportunity to ob ject to the listing. Your property, at 90 West 200 North, has been recommended for nomination. If listed in the National Register of His t oric Places there are no restrictions placed on you as a property owner. You are still able to sell, renovate, demolish or alter your property just the same as if it were not listed in the National Register. The purpose of the listing is to documen t and identify those buildings, houses and sites and structures, which help us understand the past history and development of communities, the state, or the nation . There are some tax benefits for rehabilitation work on commercial buildings and one tax penalty if you demolish a li sted building. The tax penalty is that you are not able to write off as an al l owabl e expense the demolition costs. If you wish to object to the listing of your property in the National Register you must submit to us a notarized statement that you are the owner of the property and that you ob ject to its listing in the National Register of Historic Places . The notarized letter will insure that your property will no t be listed in the Register and only a determination of th e prope rty's eligibility for the National Register will be made. The notarized statement objecting to the nomination must be submitted before May 1st of this year at which time the nomination will be forwarded to the Nationa l Regis ter Office for fin al action~ We would also appreciate any letters in support of the nomination of your property. I will be in Beaver on Tuesday ~1arch 16th at the Beaver County Cour th ouse in the Comrnision Chambers from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. to anS'f,er any questi ons about the nom; nati on and any other questions you may have.

Papamkolas • DaVid S Monson • Ehzabeth Griffith • Wilham D. Owens One final note, tlle Utah State Historical Society has received funds to publish the study of Beaver compiled by Linda Bonar which led to this nomination of Beaver's historic properties. The publication is patterned after a book published in 1980, The Avenues of Salt Lake City, which has been received with great enthusiasm by residents of the Avenues and others interested in Utah history. The publication on Beaver will include an historical overview, section on Beaver's architectural history, and a photograph and short history of each of the historic buildings in the community. I am enclosing a copy of the structure/site information form which will be used in preparing the history of your property. Please read it and if you have any additional information or corrections please send them to me, or stop by the courthouse on March 16th. I will have a copy of the Avenues book with me so that ·you can see the format for the Beaver publication which we hope to have out the end of this year or early in 1983. Inclusion of your property in the National Register or in the proposed publication does not mean that tourists and visitors have any right to tour your house or trespass on your property. We have not had reports with this being a problem. It is always a pleasure for me to be in Beaver--your community is unique in the state and your efforts at preserving the historical resources of your community will be greatly appreciated by future generations • . Pl ease send any comments to me at the Utah State Historical Society, 300 Rio Grande, Salt Lake City, Utah, 84101, or call me at 533-6017.
